Homeowners are being urged to put down their rolled up newspapers and leave flies and wasps alone which enter their houses this summer. Normally the merest sign of an insect invader turns people into killing machines on the hunt.
But wildlife experts have made a plea for people to just help them to escape out windows and not to kill bugs. This is because there has been a mass extinction taking place.
The clearest sign of it is the fact that cars going on long journeys no longer have hundreds of flies splattered on the front. According to a new study the country’s lying insect population has declined by as much as 60% in the last 20 years - largely caused by increase use of insecticides and also loss of habitat, Yorkshirelive reports.
